We are new to the area and I picked a local spot instead of Village Inn for breakfast. I joked that "what if this is a southern heritage place?" And I was shocked and not shocked when our server was wearing a Trump 45/47 hat. (birds of a feather knowing that "heritage" in the south is also a dog whistle for racism.) I immediately said I would not come back to this place. I could have walked out and probably should have. And despite the server being polite, I can't get past the political hate behind that hat. So I assume they are all like that in that place. So I definitely can't support a company that supports fascism and a sexual predator like that. There were kids and people of color there. The food was okay. I ordered eggs benedict and it was dry. Hardly any hollandaise sauce. I couldn't even finish it. The coffee was meh. I definitely tipped more than it was worth. But I will never go back purely based on that hat and what that represents. You got two stars because my partner's chili was actually flavorful. read more

Top notch service staff, their breakfast sandwich "The Charlie" was absolutely delicious.

The waiter said he would be right with me, I never saw him again. The salad was one of the worst I have ever had. Very expensive for the little rabbit food I was served. I would never go back to this restaurant again! This experience convinced me it is better to eat at home. The bill was over 58 dollars for 2 before tip. A lot of money from my perspective for a very inferior salad, pull the salad off the menu if it is so lame, why serve an inferior item. read more

I should preface this review by saying that I am a bonafide breakfast snob and my #1 favorite food is breakfast. We regularly eat it for dinner in our house. That said, in the last three years, I have yet to find a better breakfast in the Denver metro area. No, it's not in a trendy part of town - it's tucked in a strip mall in Aurora. But it's worth the drive if you don't live nearby! Everything was super fresh and the food was so clean - cooked in avocado oil (the owner told us when we asked) and not heavy at all! I was stuffed about 2/3 through the meal, but literally couldn't put my fork down. Did I want more of the flaky and light challah toast? Yup. The perfectly-cooked omelette? Yup. The fruit cup with pink pineapple (!!!) in it? Yup! My Americano with a splash of peppermint was perfectly festive even though I then had drink order envy as mug after mug of decadent coffee walked by to other tables. But that's just an excuse to quickly come back to this gem of a breakfast joint. And clearly I'll have to come back with my kiddos so I have an excuse to taste their less responsible items - like the giant cinnamon roll I saw at another table or the pancakes that looked fluffy and delicious. The staff were also really excellent - friendly, patient, good table-side manner. And incredibly knowledgeable about the food - how it's sourced, how it's prepared, etc. I'll be back for more!!! read more

Good breakfast Place. Atmosphere nice. Clean. Service good. Didn't like the sausage. Bacon was good. Eggs made perfectly. Coffee good. Looking forward to trying more dishes. Have not tried lunch. read more

Me and The Hubs had a nice breakfast here one day mid-week a couple of weeks ago. Actually, we had tried Heritage Cafe a few times for breakfast and lunch back when they first opened (2020 during Covid, I believe) and we weren't terribly impressed at the time. I decided it wouldn't be fair to review them then under the circumstances. Anyway, over four years later, we finally decided to try them again. I'm glad we did. They've added some colorful art to the walls that improves the overall look of the place (it was pretty drab before). The menu has some interesting items, and the service was spot-on. After perusing the menu and ordering coffee, I decided on the Porky Pig Benny and The Hubs had the Chilaquiles, which was one of the specials. We both enjoyed our breakfasts. They were flavorful and nicely plated. One of my poached eggs was more like hard-boiled, but I mentioned it to our server and she brought out a perfectly cooked replacement in just a couple minutes. Coffees and water were refilled promptly. My only issue was with the plate my meal was served on. I know that on the surface that this sounds petty, but it was plastic - like maybe melamine? Plastic doesn't retain heat and, as such, food doesn't stay hot on it. But the real problem was that it slid around on the table when I tried to use a fork and knife, compounded by the additional problem that the bottom wasn't flat so it also wobbled as well as slid. I had to hold the plate with one hand while I used the fork with the other (I gave up on using the knife too). Maybe I should have said something? But what? It seems like it would have been over the top to ask for another breakfast on a different type of plate. Or to ask for just another plate? Anyway, it won't prevent me from coming here again, but I might be inclined to mention this issue to the server to see if they have a solution in case my next breakfast is slated for plastic. read more

Great coffee, great food not to mention the good quality heathy ingredients. The is by far the best breakfast we have found in the area. We will be here a lot! read more

My mistake, I believe the date we had breakfast was Sunday, Aug 6th. Also, as an active Yelp member - I read reviews to help me decide if I'm going to eat or do business at a specific place. So, when I write reviews I write catering to the consumer and not specifically for the owners. However, I see that it could be beneficial input for the business to improve if needed. ----------------- After reading the response from the restaurant's manager questioning how many months back its been since I visited the place.... August 2nd to be exact (a little over a month ago)......... I was happy to find a breakfast spot near my home. There aren't a ton of places for breakfast in this part of Aurora. My husband and I went early on a Sunday morning and sat outside on the patio. We ordered coffees and were pleased with the varieties offered. The restaurant was staffed w many servers ready to wait on tables. They were all friendly and very nice. So our breakfast was not that great. I did not care for the omelet. It was overdone, and not very flavorful. I didn't care much for the sausage that was used in it either. Perhaps other items on the menu are better. Not sure if I'll be returning. read more

Great food options and service! Desiree was a great waitress. Benedict eggs were poached perfectly. The shaved ham was a great change to a slab of ham. The homemade cherry jam was literally the cherry on top. read more

The food & service was so great! We ordered mimosa's, shrimp & grits, a burger, breakfast tacos, eggs Benedict, & a steak & eggs. Soooo much food!! They got all of our food under 20mins! Definitely coming back read more

This is a pretty standard brunch restaurant with your Benedict options, breakfast sandwiches, hash browns, etc. Checking in can be pretty confusing. Sometimes the online one doesn't work but when you enter, there's a sign that says scan to check in. We saw that sign and checked in online but there was also a host that took our seats as well. So just check in to both to ensure you get a seat. We didn't wait too long like 15 minutes. I ordered the hashbrown bowl and it was quite delicious. I love hashbrown and paired it with corned beef and eggs of my choice. My meal was delicious. It was a lot of food and I was full by the end of it. The staff was friendly. Easy to check out. read more

I LOVE Heritage! The service is ALWAYS Amazing! The food is amazing! The prices are a little high BUT you get SO much food! My suggestion is whatever meal you get upgrade your side to hash brown bites! Two people can easily share! read more

Solid breakfast options, great service, and a quiet area with enjoyable atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend.

We chose Heritage Cafe for our Easter breakfast and we weren't disappointed! I'm annoyed with myself for not taking more pictures, but I got caught up in the candied bacon and nothing else really mattered after that. I don't care what else you order, but don't leave there without trying the candied bacon. I was so full from my other food but refused to leave any bacon behind. They also had shrimp and grits on the specials menu today so I ordered that. It came with 2 eggs, so I chose over easy. My meal was so yummy! My husband ordered a classic breakfast with eggs, pancakes, bacon and loaded hash browns. The hash browns were so good! Michelle was our waitress. She was so sweet. She took her time at our table. We even talked about her bracelet from Hawaii. I left feeling like I knew her. Michelle could host a master class on what being a great server looks like. The place was filled with stuffed Easter eggs. There were colorful plastic eggs on all the tables, windows, shelves.. everywhere. I opened one and it had candy inside. The woman who refilled our drinks told me to take some. I didn't, but I thought it was the cutest idea and I loved thinking that a little one would come in for breakfast and find candy filled eggs on their table. I loved that so much! The next time I go, I'm getting that cinnamon roll! I saw it on several tables and it's all I can think about now. Well, and the candied bacon. Don't forget to order the candied bacon! read more

Heritage Cafe - Candied bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I took my parents here right before 9am on a Sunday. This is such a cute little brunch place, it's bright and airy and not crowded with silly decor like other places. The waiter and hostess were prompt and nice. My father was asking the waiter dozens of questions trying to decide what to order and despite not being well acquainted with the entire menu the waiter was kind and answered to the best of his abilities. My mother and I ordered the chai tea and it was fantastic, we could order 58 ounces of this to go if we could. We also all split a "cinnamonster" and it was absolutely delicious. I ordered the chicken fried steak which was tasty, I just wish the hashbrowns had been seasoned better but nothing a little bit of black pepper and Tabasco couldn't fix. Overall great place, fast service, good food and lovely staff. We recommend you stop by and try the Cinnamonster and chai tea. read more

This is a great place! Love that it's our local breakfast spot. The staff are super friendly. It's delicious, too. Check it out!

I really wanna give this place a five but of the three times that I've been here my order has been off, which is a little frustrating because I have to wait to eat it or ask them to change. Ex: over easy eggs and over medium, completely different turkey sausage and bacon completely different. And then they said "well the cooks are busy". So are a lot of other breakfast places just please get the orders, right read more

Great atmosphere, and great music! I am old though, so now accounting for taste on that. I am also FAT, so trust me the food is fantastic!!! Get the breakfast burrito and do half green chili & half queso. Pro tip... Eat center out, because the melding of the two read more

I have been coming here with my wife for 4 years and counting. The food is incredible - you can get everything from an omelette to flank steak and eggs. Their other choices include huevos rancheros or even a southern biscuit Benedict. The ingredients are top notch and cooked as ordered. The service is one of the biggest reasons we keep coming back. Not only are the servers great at customer service but are friendly and approachable (you are not just another check). The fact that there is almost NO turnover of the staff reflects the way the owner supports the staff he has. *The owner is there often and is also as approachable as the staff - he really loves what he does and is reflected in the staff and food he serves. If we are eating out for breakfast - we go to Heritage Cafe read more

I don't typically refer friends to places because you just never know if their experience will be as good BUT I have not only told friends and family, I have told clients and anyone who would listen! I had the hash brown bowl with the pork carnitas, I cannot say enough about it!! I will be back! The staff was all super friendly and the place is way cozier than most of the photos look on-line. read more

Food was delicious. My eggs were a bit undercooked and my cousins were a bit over cooked, and I got the wrong bacon. The service was thorough, friendly and knowledgeable. The cafe is a shop in a strip mall. Not bad, but not cozy. Overall good. Good coffee. read more

Nice quaint cafe. The food came out quicker than I thought. I just got the basic b which was good with the sausage. That sausage had some good flavors to it. The eggs were cooked well and the waffle was nice and fluffy. The hash brown was crispy yet somehow it lacked flavor. My sister got an avocado toast which she said wasnt that bad but thought it was odd that they didn't toast the bread. Not sure if that's how it is done here but never seen that before. Lastly, the service was amazing and had friendly staff. read more

My wife and I really loved our first experience here today. We managed to get a table right away at 9:30am on a Sunday, the inside was comfortable and homey feeling, and all of the staff were super friendly and welcoming. We decided to try the strawberry stuffed French toast and the eggs Benedict with loaded hashbrowns. Both were fantastic! The candied jalapeno bacon was also pretty amazing. We will definitely be back soon! read more

We went here yesterday for a Mother's Day breakfast. They don't take reservations, so there was a bit of a wait. My DIL had knee surgery a couple of weeks ago, so she was on crutches. Without being asked, the lady at the reservation stand brought a chair out for her so she could sit while we waited. When we were about to be seated outside, my other DIL asked to be in the shade. The staff moved tables and umbrellas and tilted them to provide shade. They were efficient in serving a large party and very attentive at checking back. Good food and large portions. Highly recommend! read more

Great service, amazing food. The menu has some unique items that you won't find anywhere else, and their cinnamon roll has now claimed the top spot for my favorite (and that says a lot!) I love that their coffee drink menu rivals other places wine menu selection, as it was difficult to choose what I wanted. My decision came down to the cookie butter latte - which was wonderful. Everyone in my group raved about what they ordered, as we all shared a bit to get a taste of just a few of the menu items. ...already looking forward to our next visit. read more

We were from out of town so we wanted to try a good breakfast place. The menu sounded amazing. But when we got our food, the kitchen really didn't provide what we ordered. My husband ordered the fried skirt steak with loaded hashbrowns. When he got his plate, it was a chicken fried steak. So he sent it back. Then when they brought the right steak out his loaded hashbrowns were cold with cheese that wasn't even melted. I ordered the duck fat corn, beef hash crispy with eggs poached hard. When I got my eggs were lightly poached with runny white and yolk, and my hash was not crispy, it was soggy. The young waiter was extremely apologetic and brought me new eggs. Not his fault he didn't cook them. There was just a lot of issues from the kitchen. The table next to us was their first time there too, he got the duck fat hash also and was not pleased with it either. If you're gonna advertise duck fat, it needs to be tasteful. read more

The food was pretty good overall. A few items were served cold to our table, and overall the prices are expensive for what you get.

We were asked to leave soon after paying our bill to accommodate other patrons. I've never experienced this at any other restaurant, and I hope it wasn't due to our race, as we were the only table asked to leave. I enjoyed the food but will not return. read more

This Breakfast Spot was So Good A bit Pricey but the quality of the food was worth it. The Service was Fantastic also Very Attentive The Ambiance was awesome also especially that sitting outside was an option. Great Breakfast Spot!! The Only thing I would add is an option for None dairy creamer Like an Almond Creamer Awesome Spot I have already recommended to my family who lives close. read more

Wow. Had a reservation for this new place on our "to try" list. Loved how it wasn't stock breakfast dishes but fun varieties that were delicious. A little expensive, you should have a reservation, but they have unique coffee drinks and dishes that make it a fun experience. read more

I stopped yelping because my life was crazy and it takes time to really engage. So now I only yelp when I feel moved to do it. Today I did. If you live around South East Aurora and the southland area, there really is only one other breakfast restaurant that everyone knows. No named here. This would be the second. So grateful we found them! We needed some options out here. My take: FOOD - First time here and the food was GREAT. They make everything from scratch. I had the classic ham Benedict, and honestly I loved it. Real hash browns. Portions were great. A bit bigger than other places for the same. There is an old fashioned HASH BROWN comeback happening everywhere. It's about time. Side of gravy just to try it for next time. Delicious. My wife had the same but with gluten free English muffin. So good. Candied bacon was on point. MENU - Their menu was well thought out. Not to large so that they can do what they do well. They highlighted Cobe flank steak on a couple items. Didn't have it, but will need to try it next to see if it hits the way they describe it. But menu looked great we loved our meals. Hoping for consistency, which is something kills many reviews. STAFF - Our waitress was friendly, kind and attentive. They weren't real busy, but seemed like she could hold her own on a busy day. ATMOSPHERE - A quant place. Worth trying. Between a diner and An Egg and I. Family owned. This is not a concept restaurant like a Snooze. Don't expect that. But open and very nice. CLEANLINESS - This place was spotless, and people were not just clearing tables but cleaning tables etc. while we were eating. This is what you want to see. GLUTEN FREE - Extra star for having gluten free pancakes and English muffin. Candied bacon was also gluten free. This is a must for new breakfast restaurants. Others should catch up. ADVICE: Think through what other items can be or are, gluten free so that when a customer asks you know immediately. ADVICE, TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT - Put one or two big signs out on the main street corners in the mornings that says "BREAKFAST" and you will get the word out even more. I haven't heard of you and not sure why. Found you by typing breakfast into maps on a whim. AS I WAS LEAVING I THOUGHT: We don't want to always drive 30 minutes for breakfast so we are SO glad there is a new place near us in south east Aurora. Mad respect for opening during a pandemic. Also, great food! WE'LL BE BACK. This will be in our breakfast rotation for sure. Thank you for a great meal. read more
